During the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego’s Live Event, a special Hindsight presentation was to take place. The presentation was to kick off Sunday, April 26, 2020 with festival founder Susy Botello and guest speaker Neill Barham, CEO and Founder of Filmic Pro.
The presentation was to look at the last 10 years of the mobile filmmaking industry told through two early pioneers in the community. Filmic Pro’s app for shooting cinematic films with iPhones (later to include Androids) and IMFF’s intro to a live film festival daring filmmakers around the world to shoot cinematic films for the big screen with cell phones. Then the Corona Virus COVID-19 changed our plans and #MFF2020SanDiego turned into a Virtual event online.
The end of the Q&A session was set to screen a selection of films which won awards in previous years during the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego.
